Hi! I'm Nicolas Shelton, a writer & graphic artist here at Boldmethod!
I'm a flight instructor dedicated to finding simple explanations for complex topics. I started flying while I was a senior in high school and got my Private Pilot's license a month after graduating. I learned to fly in the small (yet forgiving) Cessna 152. These days I mostly fly Piper Archer Tx's, Warriors, Arrows, and Seminoles.
I am currently attending Purdue University, where I am majoring in Professional Flight & minoring in Atmospheric Science. Outside of my classes, I am involved with many student organizations on campus and enjoy film-making in my free time.
We sat down with National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Scott Entrekin of the Boulder, Colorado office to discuss why the winds seem to pick up during certain seasons, leaving you stuck on the ground.
